    That would have been worse. I’ll take the win and criticize our shortcomings.

    Maintaining an awesome D was priority 1 for Eaux, and he’s succeeded. Priority 1B was to fix the offense. He’s failed so far after a promising interim year.

    So you call a 10 - 3 record a failure?

    Fine, but it is ignoring that Eaux has had 2.5 years and we’re still talking about next year. Maybe I’ll fix my life and be able to quit the 9-5. Maybe baby.

    Yep.

    I call the offensive rebuild a failure to date. I was fairly pleased to win 10 this year.

    Doing enough < exceeding expectations

    So far WW has exceeded expectations. Orgeron has done enough.

    I didn’t say almost anything that you’re trying to attribute to me in this post. The lack of red zone TDs is balanced by the number of TDs we scored from outside of the red zone. But go ahead and tell everyone how red zone TDs are more important and worth more than other TDs.

    We had to have more than an adequate O to win 10 games. Considering we had a first year QB, a very thin O line, no standout WR, and a satisfactory running game I'll take our offensive performance last year.

    I hope it’s just a snowball that is starting slow and will pick up steam next year.

    How come you aren’t highlighting any more of them impressive offensive stats?

    I was hopeful E would be the guy, but once we hit the light part of our schedule the offense still struggled. Burrow went a month without throwing a TD. I’m sure I could throw out a lot of stats that make our offense look terrible. Scoring just tells one part of the story.

    Maybe y’all are right and E will be awesome with another year with his system in place. It just feels more like fool’s gold.

    Disappointed so many seem to be kinda complacent.

    Because I was having a very focused discussion with @kcal. We weren’t talking about anything but red zone offense, or at least I wasn’t.

    So LSU has an excellent offense except in the red zone? There must be some kind of stat that backs that up.
